[Training] The Art of Sorcery

OOC: Only Two Spots for Acolytes


Standing outside of the Temple on Yavin IV, in the dead of night, Makkun Telkanin, Sith Sorcerer and Alchemist, stood, staring back at the Temple as he waited. He waited for the oppurtune moment, the moment where he would put his plan into action.. To the casual observer, he would appear only as an odd shadow during the day, his black robe drawn around him, hood pulled up over his head. During the night, though, it would appear as if he wasn't even there, especially when he wasn't moving.

For an hour, he waited, allowing the night to draw on, closing on midnight. Then he began. He extended his hands and mumbled a string of words, chanting the words to the spell he was performing. The Force gathered around him, the Dark Side roiling before suddenly dispersing, replaced by an Aura of the Light Side. A Jedi's Aura. He nodded and then sat down in the dense foliage, extending his presence into the Academy. For those that knew just what a Light Side Aura Spell was, meaning anyone above the level of Acolyte, they would be able to tell just what the Light Side Presence was.

However, for the Acolytes, who knew practically nothing about Sith Sorcery except for the fact that it existed, it would be like a blinding beacon of light in the middle of a dark abyss.

He focused his Light Side Pressure in the area of the Temple where the initiates and Acolytes stayed, and then burst it, sending out waves of Light Side Aura in a kind of sonic boom. He focused these Light Side Aura waves on two specific Acolytes, picking them at random out of the many and then pressuring them, waking them from their sleep and then drawing the Aura back to him, reforming it as a presence and leaving a trail back to him for the Students to follow. As the Light Side Aura finally completely drew back into him, save for the trail left for the two Acolytes, Telkanin focused on sustaining the false Force Aura around himself. He shut his eyes and entered a meditative trance as he sat, passing the time while he waited for the Acolytes to arrive.​

 

[Xedan Blokk]

Xedan wasn't a hero. He wasn't one to save the Sith from an oncoming Jedi invasion. However, he did have a sense of duty when it came to certain things. If there was a Jedi outside the temple, and nobody else seemed to be responding to it.. Well, he would take that opportunity to go and.. Do something about it. He wasn't quite sure what he would do, yet. But he would undoubtedly do something.

It was like a headache. The blinding presence in the Force that he felt, and even saw. It pulsed through his mind, throbbed, as if all the blood in his head was just trying to escape, completely obliterating his skull in the process. It was painful. But now that he knew the Jedi was present, he would temporarily turn off the sensors that were trying to detect one. Directing his focus elsewhere, he was able to ignore the demanding presence until he could find out who it was. Donning his black cloak and hood, he left the temple to go searching.

Armed with only a vibrosword and his.. Noticable training in the Force, Xedan set out from the temple with absolutely no idea what he was looking for. He was intelligent enough to know that a Jedi wasn't going to just jump out at him and announce his presence, but he was hoping for something to tip him off as to his location. And then he saw it.

There was a man, shrouded in black, sitting in a small clearing outside the temple. It wasn't quite what he had been expecting, and it made him slightly uneasy to be approaching this man, with such a powerful presence in the Force. The cloaked man would surely be aware of the Acolyte's presence, even now. His best bet was to remain confident, and watch from a distance until he was addressed. He approached a few feet more, until he was just within hearing range, and then crouched low to the ground.

He waited.

Telkanin could sense the Acolyte now, standing just within hearing range. He looked up to try and see where the Acolyte was exactly, since he couldn't exert too much pressure in the Force without shattering the Light Side Aura. However, he didn't need to use the Force for this, not with the innate trait of his species. Arkanians possessed infrared vision. Telkanin shut his eyes for a few moments and switched into infrared. When he opened his eyes again, they were red, and he saw everything around him in the form of heat signatures. As he scanned the area surrounding him, he immediately found the Acolyte's position.

He stood to his feet, having already ended his quick meditative session, and brushed off the bits and pieces of dirt, plants and twigs that had stuck to his robe. Then he turned to face the Acolyte, allowing him to easily see his eyes, which were still in infrared, the bright red glow of them shining brightly in the dark. He smiled, and then pulled back his cowl, revealing himself as an Arkanian. The familiar lines of corruption ere etched upon his features, a sign that he was indeed a Sith. He allowed the Acolyte to see this, and then grinned, his brilliant white teeth the only thing besides his eyes that could be seen in the dark, save for his white hair and the black swath shooting through it.

"Hello, little Acolyte. My name is Makkun Telkanin, Sith Sorcerer and Alchemist. I've chosen you as one of the two randomly selected Acolytes to participate in this lesson in Sith Sorcery. Lets just say you'll find tonight interesting, at the least," said Telkanin. As he spoke, he allowed a wave of controlled Dark Side energy to surge outwards from him in the direction of the Acolyte, verifying that he was what he said he was. "I simply used this Sorcery technique to get your attention, as well as the attention of one other student. Of course, it's too advanced for an Acolyte to learn with just a single lesson, but I'll be starting you and the other Acolyte down that path somewhat," finished Telkanin.

He then motioned to the Acolyte to introduce himself while they waited, as he couldn't very well recognize him with his infrared vision activated.​

 

[Xedan Blokk]

"Hello, little Acolyte. My name is Makkun Telkanin, Sith Sorcerer and Alchemist." Xedan wasn't necessarily used to being addressed as "Little Acolyte," but he certainly wasn't one to protest. As the Sith Sorcerer spoke, Xedan rose to his feet, his cloak billowing around him in flowing sheets of black. He listened intently, his face revealing nothing about his inner thoughts or feelings, though he was in complete and utter awe. "I simply used this Sorcery technique to get your attention, as well as the attention of one other student. Of course, it's too advanced for an Acolyte to learn with just a single lesson, but I'll be starting you and the other Acolyte down that path somewhat." As the Sorcerer finished, Xedan could only stand and be dumbfounded by his complete and utter control over the Force. He wanted it.

When he was directed to introduce himself, Xedan took a step forward, still hooded and cloaked, with only his golden eyes visible under his concealing hood. "I am Xedan, and I cannot wait to learn what you have to teach me." His tone was reverent and respectful, and he bowed his head as he finished speaking. Now, if only the other damn Acolyte would hurry up, they could begin.
